"Love and Monsters" is utterly, utterly horrifying. It is the benchmark of nightmarish endings to an episode of a sci-fi show which get presented as a minor victory for the good guys.

Is there any other way?

Zatoichi (2003) is indeed great.

There's a third film?

I suppose another another interesting structural thing is how they've dealt with the "will-they/won't-they" tension between Berthaud and Clement. They're French, so yes they will, pretty early on.

Hello. Sorry to take so long to reply. Things are busy at home (obviously) and also really busy at work. Workwise it's generally a fairly busy time of year, but I also handed my resignation in a week ago and I'm trying to get released in six weeks rather than the three months notice in my contract. Which effectively…

Do you get to watch Screenwipe? Last week's had some pisstaking of the current BBC adaptation of The Three Musketeers, including the comment that the swordfights are rather less tense an experience than watching someone chop vegetables.

Spiral - I continue to enjoy this, and it continues to be a bit silly.

Same here. Bold appears on ipad, but not on my laptop. Hopefully it's just a temporary borking and normal service will return.

But I like the idea of Eastwood smirking his way through a Western played out as a quirky comedy of manners, then completely losing his shit at his callow young allies at the end.

Is it a shame that For a Few Dollars More isn't a remake of Sanjuro? I do not know.

And hey, it wasn't a joke based on videogames!

"Unfortunately, I had no idea someone else on here was using this. Apologies."

@avclub-f6555ba4e932df692bdead3171d5e677:disqus - I laughed like an imbecile at that comment. Then read it out to my wife, and laughed like an imbecile all over again.

Money and work/life balance. Which are rather prosaic reasons, but perfectly rational ones.

Fine thanks. I just feel vaguely guilty, which is a completely irrational emotion to be experiencing, but there it is.

Difficult day for me today, as I handed my resignation in at work. This made one of my colleagues cry, which I guess is a vote of confidence, though didn't make it any easier. (Then I fucked something up on one of her clients this afternoon, so hopefully she's rather more ambivalent about me now).

Wrong. A million times wrong. Go to a decent French or Belgian restaurant on the coast somewhere and order moules frites to see how it's done. Completely delicious.

Hey, I've finished Season 1 of Fringe! [SPOILERS FOR S1/S2 FRINGE] Really enjoyed it, and the final shot of the WTC still standing over the New York skyline was wonderfully creepy (probably even more so in '09). Undercut slightly by the weird episode placement of "Unearthed", which Netflix told me was the final…

I'm not downvoting you, so much as the concept of non-seafood paella.
